My first Auto Flowering strain I've tried.. many a friend has told me to not waste my time on auto strains.. that the yield just isn't there and potency lacks compared to regular plants. Even I felt this to be true 10yr ago when only auto's available were Lowryder & LR#2. Problem with these was they were made with a dwarf style plant and were actually designed to be small and stealthy. However, now we have what is being called the Next Generation Auto's calling them Super Auto's and this really got my attention. Luckily I have made many friends over the past 10yrs of enjoying this great hobby.. gifted to me was a cross of AK47 and Sour60 and after some research found out Sour60 is actually BOG'S Sour Bubble turned Auto... talk about lucky.. so I decided to refer to this strain as: Bubblegun if that's ok.
Light: 400w HPS open air reflector
Setup: Stealth Closet 3ft deep x 2.5ft wide x 6ft high.
Cycle: Start on 18/6 until sex showed, then to 12/12.. next run will experiment with 18/6 throughout grow.
Nutes: Roots Organic Line.. Organic Soil, Organism XL., Buddha Grow/Bloom, HP2, HPK, Uprising Bloom,
and Roots66. Trying to keep things simple this 1st grow.
Pots: 1gal nursery pots to start until plants show sex, then into giant square 18L pots..
Start Day: All plants pushed thru soil and showed green on Christmas Day.. woot woot.
Strain: Bubblegun (5)
I started them in 1gal pots until sex showed which was pretty quickly.. out of 5, 1 stemmed over leaving me 3 females and 1 male. Since I wanted to make some more beans to keep for stock, I allowed the one male to lightly pollinate the lady next to him and then collected pollen from him to paint buds later on.. with Auto's I figured you need to pollinate quickly as you need 6wks for seeds to develop..
Transplanted them into the 3gal square pots using Roots Organic soil and the Organism XL.. watering the night before makes for a problem free transplant as the soil holds together much better..
after a week I super cropped all the growing shoots and within a week they all responded by exploding and man o man was I surprised..
